Resin-dentin bond stability of etch-and-rinse adhesive systems with different concentrations of MMP inhibitor GM1489.

Enzymatic degradation of the hybrid layer can be accelerated by the activation of dentin metalloproteinases (MMP) during the bonding procedure. MMP inhibitors may be used to contain this process. Objective To evaluate the degree of conversion (DC%), dentin bond strength (µTBS) (immediate and after 1 year of storage in water), and nanoleakage of an experimental (EXP) and a commercial (SB) adhesive system, containing different concentrations of the MMP inhibitor GM1489: 0, 1 µM, 5 µM and 10 µM. Methodology DC% was evaluated by FT-IR spectroscopy. Dentin bond strength was evaluated by µTBS test. Half of beams were submitted to the µTBS test after 24 h and the other half, after storage for 1 year. From each tooth and storage time, 2 beams were reserved for nanoleakage testing. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's test to compare means (α=0.05). Results All adhesive systems maintained the µTBS after 1 year of storage. Groups with higher concentrations of inhibitor (5 µM and 10 µM) showed higher µTBS values than groups without inhibitor or with 1 µM. The nanoleakage values of all groups showed no increase after 1 year of storage and values were similar for SB and EXP groups, in both storage periods. The inhibitor did not affect the DC% of the EXP groups, but the SB5 and SB10 groups showed higher DC% values than those of SB0 and SB1. Conclusions The incorporation of GM1489 in the adhesive systems had no detrimental effect on DC%. The concentrations of 5 µM GM1489 for SB and 5 µM or 10 µM for EXP provided higher µTBS than groups without GM1489, in the evaluation after 1 year of storage; whereas the concentration of inhibitor did not affect adhesive systems nanoleakage.

Uso de sistema de fibras de reforço em prótese adesiva posterior: relato de caso clínico / Reinforcerd fibers system use in posterior adhesive prothesis: clinical case report

A utilização de resinas associadas a fibras de reforço é uma excelente alternativa para casos de prótese adesiva. Este trabalho apresenta um caso clínico em que foi confeccionada uma prótese fixa reforçada do sistema de pônticos e fibras de vidro Fibrex-Lab (Angelus, Brasil) associada à resina composta Natural Look (DFL, Brasil). O resultado clínico foi altamente satisfatório, oferecendo função e estética ao paciente, o que demonstra a possibilidade da utilização das fibras de vidro como alternativa às ligas metálicas e cerâmicas reforçadas para subestruturas em situações clínicas bem indicadas de próteses parciais fixas. Dessa forma, o trabalho executado foi muito útil para que o emprego desses materiais permita aos dentistas clínicos a escolha de novas alternativas seguras para reabilitar sorrisos.

Restauração de dentes tratados endodonticamente com pino de fibra de vidro e acessório em canais amplos / Fiber glass post and accessory post to restore endodontically treated teeth with large root canal

Os pinos de fibra de vidro têm sido extensivamente utilizados em dentes com grande perda de estrutura dentária e canais endodonticamente tratados. Por apresentar seção circular, mesmo com diâmetros diversos, sua linha de cimentação torna-se muito espessa em canais mais elípticos ou alargados. Tal condição poderia aumentar o potencial para a microinfiltração, além de diminuir a resistência à fratura do núcleo. Este artigo mostra a resolução do caso clínico de um incisivo lateral superior com conduto radicular amplo tratado endodonticamente, a partir do emprego de um retentor intra-radicular de fibra de vidro cônico associado a um pino acessório, com objetivo de diminuir a linha de cimentação e aumentar a longevidade do procedimento restaurador.
